TURKEY: Enough of ISRAELI LIES
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan had enough of Israeli President Peres' lies and walked off the stage in Davos saying he will never come back. Peres basically tried to say that there had been no siege and there has been no starvation in Gaza during the massacre.
When does he give back that Nobel prize? If only others had the integrity of Erdogan.
IF THE AMERICANS KNEW
It is sad that a Prime Minister of a country which commited three genocides took the initiative to take off the masks of Israel. Somebody had to do it.
Turkey is a close friend and ally to Israel. After this Israel will be more isolated. Seems that the floor under Erdogan is shaking for doing this to Israel.
Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan has stormed out of a Davos in support of Gaza against Israeli crimes
Erdogan walked off in front of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and other panel members complaining that his comments on the conflict were cut short by the Washington Post's moderator David Ignatius.
The Turkish premier noted to reporters following the incident that he was treated unfairly by the moderator who allowed him only 12 minutes to make his points while giving Peres a full 25 minutes to deliver an impassioned defense of Israel's 22-day offensive that devastated Gaza. Arab League chief, Egypt's Amr Moussa rose to shake his hand as the prime minister
made his exit.
"I do not think I will be coming back to Davos after this because you do not let me speak," the prime minister shouted as he left, though he said later he could reconsider.
Erdogan criticized the audience of international officials and corporate chiefs for applauding Peres' emotional defense of Israel's war against Hamas
in Gaza, which left more than 1,300 Palestinians dead.
Erdogan, who leads one of the few Muslim countries to have diplomatic ties with Israel and who has sought a peacemaker's role in the Middle East conflict, said Israel had carried out "barbaric" actions in Gaza.
"I find it very sad that people applaud what you have said because many people have been killed," he shouted at Peres before being cut off by Ignatius.
Erdogan and Peres spoke by telephone after the debate and the 85-year-old Israeli president apologized for the events,

FULL ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF ERDOGANS'S REPLY!
*********
Turkey's prime minister stalked off the stage at the World
Economic Forum red-faced Thursday after reproaching Israel's president
over the Gaza offensive by saying "You kill people."
The packed
audience, as Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Israeli
President Shimon Peres raised their voices and traded accusations.
Peres
was passionate in his defense of Israel's 23-day offensive against
Hamas militants, launched in reaction to eight years of rocket fire
aimed at Israeli territory. As he spoke, Peres often turned toward
Erdogan, who in his remarks had criticized the Israeli blockade of
Gaza, saying it was an "open air prison, isolated from the rest of the
world" and referred to the Palestinian death toll of about 1,300, more
than half of those civilians. Thirteen Israelis also died.
The
heated debate with Israel(Occupier of Palestine) and Turkey at the
center was significant because of the key role Turkey has played as a
moderator between Israel(Occupier of Palestine) and Syria. Erdogan
appeared to express a sense of disappointment when he recounted how he
had met with the Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert just days before
the offensive, and believed they were close to reaching terms for a
face-to-face meeting with Syrian leaders.
Erdogan was angry when a
panel moderator cut off his remarks in response to an impassioned
monologue by Peres defending Israel's offensive against the Hamas
rulers of Gaza.
"I find it very sad that people applaud what you said," Erdogan said. "You killed people. And I think that it is very wrong."
The
angry exchange followed an hour-long debate at the forum attended by
world leaders in Davos. Erdogan tried to rebut Peres as the discussion
was ending, asking the moderator, Washington Post columnist David
Ignatius, to let him speak once more."Only a minute," Ignatius replied."
Mr. Peres, you are older than me. Your voice is too loud," Erdogan told Peres, saying his emotion belied a guilty conscious.
"You
kill people," Erdogan told the 85-year-old Israeli leader. "I remember
the children who died on beaches. I remember two former prime ministers
who said they felt very happy when they were able to enter Palestine on
tanks."
When Erdogan was asked to stop, he angrily stalked off,
leaving fellow panelists U.N. Secretary-General Ban-Ki Moon and Arab
League Secretary Amr Moussa.
"When it comes to killing, you know it too well," the Turkish leader said.
"I
remember two former prime ministers in your country who said they felt
very happy when they were able to enter Palestine on tanks," Erdogan
added.
When the moderator tried to cut short Erdogan's remarks,
saying it was past time to adjourn for dinner, he answered in
frustration, "Don't interrupt me. You are not allowing me to speak."
He then said: "I will not come to Davos again."
Ultimately,
Erdogan stressed he left not because of a dispute with Peres but
because he was not given time to respond to the Israeli leader's
remarks. Erdogan also complained that Peres had 25 minutes while he was
only given 12 minutes.
"I did not target at all in any way the
Israeli people, President Peres, or the Jewish people," Erdogan told a
news conference afterward.
"I am a prime minister, a leader who
has specifically expressly stated that anti-Semitism is a crime against
humanity," he said.
Peres and Erdogan raised their voices. "Mr.
Ergodan said what he wanted to say and then he left. That's all. He was
right." Of Israel, he said, "They don't listen."
Ergodan brushed
past reporters outside the hall. His wife appeared upset. "All Peres
said was a lie. It was unacceptable," she said, eyes glistening.

Israel-Hamas Cease-fire and thus prior to the present conflict. It
needs to be updated, but the aspect concerning a Gaza Development

Israeli-Hamas Truce : Bold Steps for Gaza
Rene Wadlow
The truce between the Israeli government and the Hamas-led authorities
of the Gaza strip began on Thursday morning 19 June 2008. The truce was
mediated by Egypt and, if strong follow-up measures are taken quickly,
holds the possibility for new relationships. As a UN spokesperson said
“It is important that both sides honor the ceasefire, in order for it
to be the first constructive step towards a wider and more extensive
peace process between the sides.” There are many in Israel, in Gaza,
and in the Fatah-led West Bank who believe that the truce will be short
lived and will not change the deep divisions among Palestinians and
between Palestinians and Israelis. The truce is fragile in an area
where only a few sparks are needed to start a blaze. On 24 June, there
were three rockets fired from Gaza on the Israeli border town of Sderot
causing no injuries but constituting a breach in the five-day truce.
Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack saying it was an
answer to the Israeli military raid in the West Bank city of Nablus in
which two Islamic Jihad members were killed.
The truce agreement is meant to apply only to Gaza and not to the
Fatah-led West Bank. However, events in the West Bank will inevitably
color the nature and durability of the truce. Some non-Hamas groups
active in Gaza, such as the Islamic Jihad and the Al Aksa Martyrs
Brigades have said that they will retaliate from Gaza when there are
attacks against them in the West Bank.
There are those who think that the truce is only a cover for other
motivations. Some believe that Hamas will use the quiet to increase its
military strength. Others believe that the failure of the truce would
give legitimacy to Israel for a major military move into Gaza Thus, it
is important to try to structure the truce with some bold steps to
restore the economy, to offer possibilities for a better life in Gaza,
and to break the cycle of violence and counter-violence.
Despite the fragile nature of the truce, after a year-long economic
embargo, frequent Israeli air strikes and incursions, and a steady rain
from Gaza of rocket fire on near-by Israeli cities, the truce opens
some doors for creative action.
Measures to re-establish and develop the economy of Gaza are important
as the embargo has crippled and in some cases destroyed manufacturing
and agriculture, much of which was destined for the Israeli market or
must pass through Israel for Europe or elsewhere. The Gaza Strip is 25
miles long and 6 miles wide with some one and a half million people who
depend on imports for most basic goods and on export for livelihood.
The Israeli blockade has led to a very difficult economic and social
situation in Gaza with high unemployment, poor health facilities, a
lack of food and other basic supplies.
There is also a need to break the psychological barriers which can be
overcome by cooperative economic measures. The 2005 Israeli withdrawal
from Gaza was done without signs of good will or reconciliation. The
houses of Israeli settlers were destroyed so that they could not be
used, and there was no common economic planning. Gaza, even before the
withdrawal of Israeli settlers had real economic difficulties with a
young population looking for jobs, and a scarcity of natural resources
such as water and arable land. For socio-economic growth, there needs
to be economic planning and efforts that would bring together creative
energy, knowledge and money from Gaza, Israel, the West Bank and Egypt.
A possible model is the trans-state efforts of the Tennessee Valley
Authority (TVA) of the US New Deal. The TVA was a path-making measure
to overcome the deep economic depression of the 1930s in the USA. In
May 1933, the Roosevelt administration and the Congress created the
TVA. In his message to Congress, Roosevelt suggested that the Authority
should be a “corporation clothed with the power of Government but
possessed of the flexibility and initiative of a private enterprise. It
should be charged with the broadest duty of planning for the proper
use, conservation and development of the natural resources of the
Tennessee River drainage basin and its adjoining territory for the
general social and economic welfare of the Nation…This in a true sense
is a return to the spirit and vision of the pioneer. If we are
successful here, we can march on, step by step, in the development of
other great natural territorial units.”
The central idea back of the TVA was that it should do many things, all
connected with each other by the concrete realities of a damaged river
full of damaged people. To do all these well, it had to be a public
corporation: public, because it served the public interest and a
corporation rather than a government department, so that it could
initiate the flexible responsible management of a well-run private
corporation. As Stringfellow Barr wrote in Citizens of the World “The
great triumph of the TVA was not the building of the great dams. Great
dams had been built before. Its greatest triumph was that it not only
taught the Valley people but insisted on learning from them too. It
placed its vast technical knowledge in the pot with the human wisdom,
the local experience, the courage, and the hopes of the Valley people,
and sought solutions which neither the Valley folk nor the TVA
technicians could ever have found alone. It respected persons.”
The Gaza strip is not one of the great natural territorial units of the
world, and respect for persons has been in short supply. However, only
a New Deal is likely to break the cycle of violence and
counter-violence. A Gaza Development Authority, an independent
socio-economic corporation devoted to multi-sector and trans-national
planning and administration would be an important start in a new deal
of the cards. Such a Gaza Development Authority would obviously have
Hamas members but also persons chosen for their expertise as well as
persons from community organizations.
The Israeli-Hamas truce must be accompanied by strong socio-economic
structures which can hold during periods of inevitable future tensions.
It is important to have public expressions of support for the truce as
the start of a New Deal, as an important step away from permanent
confrontation, and as a prelude to socio-economic reform. A Gaza
Development Authority can be a framework for these strong follow up
measures to the truce.
